Watch some of those tropical animals you wouldn't want to bite or sting you in the indoor terrarium Tropicario.
Tropicario is a Finnish public aquarium and herpetarium, that was previously located in Hämeenlinna, Finland; due to the lack of visitors the park relocated to Helsinki, Finland in February 2007. The public aquarium is specialized in snakes and lizards. On their website, they claim to have more Constrictor species than anywhere else in the Nordic countries.

Paavalinkirkko
A church from the 1930s built of red tiles, one of the first landmarks one will see when driving into Helsinki from Lahti.
A cultural summer festival held in the bohemian district of Kallio not very far from the city centre. Held over a week in middle May. Various art galleries, workshops and street art performances. Culminates in a samba parade on Sunday, held by Império do Papagaio as their final practice before the main Samba Carnaval in the city centre.
Työväenasuntomuseo
Built for the city's employees and their families in the early 20th century, nowadays the house is a museum where every room is a snapshot of the inhabitants' everyday life during different decades from the 1920s to the 1980s. Visits by guided tours which are free, start about every 15-20 minutes depending on how many visitors have arrived, and are conducted in Finnish, English (whenever foreign travellers show up) and possibly other languages too.
Mäkelänrinteen uimahalli
Indoor swimming pool which has also been used for international competitions. Great if you feel like swimming in the winter but don't care for the traditional Finnish "hole in the ice" swimming.
